Looks like I just found out a way to improve. Though to be fair I've never worked anywhere or applied anywhere that folks were wearing suits. Nobody wears suits in Denver except lawyers. And even then only on court days.
Worst thing I ever saw while on an interview panel was when a guy showed up in a white silky shirt. With no undershirt. Poor guy started sweating and you got to where you could see everything. I knew him (was a part time worker already) and when he didn't get the job I went to him and gave him a few pointers. Undershirt for one.
Well I haven't done that. Just a good shirt and tie (with undershirt) and good slacks. The folks interviewing have always been comparable in their attire. I am about to move to DC, so I know I have to do better.
Kohl's has affordable suits. When I was fresh out of college I got my first suit there. Think I may even still have it.
My wingspan is a bit longer than my height. Might be able to do. My girlfriend volunteers on Saturdays at a charity's thrift store, I may put her on lookout.
JC Penny and even Sears have cheap suits, but I'd avoid the latter. Wear a suit or at least slacks and a coordinating jacket to interviews for professional positions. As someone who has been on both sides of the table, it could very well make the difference. One exception would be if they tell you to wear something else.
Regular length fits me perfect but my chest size is larger than my waist so I generally have to have them took in a little. My moms also worked in a sewing factory her whole life so she does my seamstress work
My girlfriend likes to make her own clothing... I might need to wife her to get her to tailor for me though.
my brother in law bought a suit recently at men's warehouse. it think he paid like $250 all in. it looked pretty good to me. my brooks brother's suit looked almost identical.
